de Construct Album Release with Ruda Krua & Puebla Sisters

WORM celebrates the album release - and surreal performance - of de Construct!

Composer Otto Rissanen brings together fellow artists Ruda Krua and Puebla Sisters for a night of experimental music and performance. Across the programme, perspectives and identities are pulled apart and reshaped through a combination of free jazz, classical, and experimental electronic music, intertwined with theatre, dance, and multimedia.

Otto Rissanen — de Construct de Construct is a bold and surreal excavation of identity, incorporating deconstructions and hybrid of free jazz, American minimalism, and in-your-face theatre. A seven-piece ensemble perform and move, act, and embody the work’s emotional arc on stage. A "love child of David Lynch and Yorgos Lanthimos", we are told.

Ruda Krua With an unconventional lineup featuring bass clarinet, drums, and saxophone, Ruda Krua meddle with a wide array of sounds and textures, enhanced by the use of effect pedals. The trio draws influences from afrobeat, jazz, electronic, punk and brings in elements of Bulgarian and Valencian traditional music.

Puebla Sisters — Oo Two pigeons land on a dusty stage. This time there is no bench to linger on, but a crowd of eyes to feed. The inseparable duet dances an ode to quirky, old bodies grooving on the pavements. Oo opens a satyrical reflection on metropolitan greyness and forgotten selves.
